Unplug Relax at our Tennessee River Cabin Getaway - Hunt, Fish, see BIGFOOT!
Guest rating: 4.2 / 5
Overview
This is a privately-owned 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom cabin situated on the Tennessee River in Decaturville (near Parsons), Tennessee, run as a rustic family lake house rather than a traditional hotel. It sits directly across from Perryville Marina and includes a large screened-in porch, making it a laid-back retreat for groups seeking to unplug. A quirky 12-foot metal Bigfoot statue on the property gives the getaway its playful, memorable character.
Rooms & Sleeping Arrangements
The cabin sleeps a large group comfortably, with one king bed, two queen beds, and a kids' room featuring two bunk beds (each with a full and two twins). Additional sleeping space is available on a futon and couches, including a sectional, allowing the home to accommodate up to 18 adults if guests are flexible about sleeping arrangements. This layout suits multi-family reunions, hunting or fishing parties, and other large groups traveling together.
Amenities
In-unit conveniences include air conditioning, a full kitchen, cable TV, and three large flat-screen smart TVs plus a DVD player, along with an outdoor grill for cooking al fresco. The home is smoke-free and pet-friendly, with owners asking guests to clean up after animals. High-speed internet is provided, and access is via a lockbox code for a self check-in style stay.
Location & Recreation
The cabin is located directly across the street from the Tennessee River and Perryville Marina, which has a free boat ramp, making it convenient for boaters (though boats are not included). Nearby attractions include Buffalo River Country Club, Mousetail Landing State Park, and Natchez Trace State Park, offering water skiing, water tubing, hiking and biking trails, and hunting opportunities. The setting is geared toward outdoor enthusiasts who want direct river access and nearby natural areas to explore.
Best for
This cabin is best suited for large groups, extended families, and outdoor enthusiasts such as hunters, anglers, and boaters, given its river-front location, free boat ramp access at Perryville Marina, and sleeping capacity for up to 18. It also appeals to travelers wanting a quiet, unplugged retreat with a screened porch for socializing and nearby state parks for hiking and nature.
Travel tips
Bring your own boat if you plan to use the free ramp at Perryville Marina just across the street, as none is provided on-site. Since the cabin relies on a lockbox entry code and provided internet details sent ahead of arrival, confirm check-in instructions before you travel. Plan outdoor activities like water skiing, tubing, or hiking at Mousetail Landing State Park or Natchez Trace State Park in advance, as these natural areas are a primary draw of the location.
